I thought the school itself usually starts it?

Nope! That's what I originally thought too, and I emailed admissions to ask about it. They want the group to be student run.

I am an incoming student student and have not started yet, so I'm not familiar with the rent. This question is better suited for the WesternU student perspective thread HERE.

On campus rent when they gave us a tour ranged from 1600-2000 depending on how many rooms you want.

Cheaper off campus but drive is longer.

Try emailing the school, I don't think they'll have a problem getting back to you.

During my interview at Western, I thought the surrounding area was not safe but the campus seemed very well managed for safety. I am also from a small country town so it could just be me lol.

You're right, the campus has good security but the surrounding area isn't as safe. My sister currently goes to school in Pomona and says that downtown Pomona can be dangerous at night. But the area is okay during the day! You probably just don't want to wander around aimlessly at night.

I am a second year student at WesternU and rent really depends on how close you'd like to be to the school. Options putting you right on campus (like the Daumier or 777 apartments) may range in price from 1k$-1.5k; however, living in a home with other students or an apartment can range from 500$-1,000$ in adjacent neighborhoods. Most students live in Chino Hills (south of Pomona) or Claremont (north of Pomona), both friendly residential districts.

Pomona is an ideal location for a medical school since the city is medically underserved and allows students to make an impact in the community by volunteering their time in various student run clinics (Pomona Homeless Outreach Program, Pomona Community Health Action Team, amongst others).

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions whatsoever regarding WesternU, academics, extracurriculars, etc. I'd be glad to help!
